It’s not often I turn up in another newspaper. I have been hammering away here in Primos for the past 28 years.

As it turns out, every once in awhile I wind up writing about my home town of Oxford, Pa.

I was at it again last week, with two items connecting Olympic men’g figure skater Johnny Weir with Oxford.

They got noticed by our sister paper in West Chester. Editor Andy Hachadorian asked if I’d mind making a couple of changes so he could run them. It was my pleasure.

The piece ran in the West Chester Daily Local on Saturday. You can see it here. I actually melded two pieces together. The first was to simply give a shout-out to Oxford and our shared link with Weir. The second was in response to a couple of nasty comments that were posted on our Web site after I blogged on my connection to Weir.

I was astounded to get several e-mails from people in my old home town who had seen the item and also wanted to share their pride in Weir’s achievement.

Who says you can’t go home again?
